The minimum wage law is for the Unions as many union contracts are tied to the level of the minimum wage.

Precisely!
The rats and their union scum and couldn't care less about burger-flipping teenagers - - it's all about the union scales.

Exactly. I bet most PT entry-level jobs where unions are involved pay in the $8-9/hr range. Bumping the minimum wage to $10.10/hr would kill many small businesses and give the Unions powere to force a $11/hr starting wage on the employers.
